THE SHORT ANSWER
Trenchless options such as cured-in-place lining or pipe bursting can sometimes rehabilitate a sewer with less surface excavation than an open trench. Access pits, utility clearances and some restoration may still be needed, and neither method suits every collapsed, misaligned or damaged line. A camera inspection and site assessment determine whether trenchless methods are feasible; ask VIP about available repair options rather than assuming a trenchless installation is offered.
